Performance evaluation and the implementation of the turbocharger, fuel cell, and battery in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
Jan Van Herle, Hossein Pourrahmani
The current study evaluates integrating fuel cell technology into the batteries as an alternative for internal combustion engines (ICEs) for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV). To further improve the performance of the UAV, a turbocharger is also integrated to ...
Amsterdam2023ACTIVE MODEL ROCKET STABILIZATION VIA COLD GAS THRUSTERS
Gautier Marie Pierre Rouaze, Anton Ivanov, Xavier Collaud, Raimondo Pictet, Danylo Malyuta, Mikael Martins Gaspar
This paper describes the development and testing of a reaction control system (RCS) for a model rocket named FALCO-4. The rocket uses cold gas jets to keep itself perfectly vertical at low speeds. We first describe the mechanical layout of FALCO-4 and the ...
2015A 10 nN resolution thrust-stand for micro-propulsion devices
Herbert Shea, Daniel George Courtney, Subha Chakraborty
We report on the development of a nano-Newton thrust-stand that can measure up to 100 μN thrust from different types of microthrusters with 10 nN resolution. The compact thrust-stand measures the impingement force of the particles emitted from a microthrus ...
American Institute of Physics2015Effects of dynamic compression on lentiviral transduction in an in vitro airway wall model
Melody Swartz, Alice Anna Tomei
Asthmatic patients are more susceptible to viral infection, and we asked whether dynamic strain on the airway wall (such as that associated with bronchoconstriction) would influence the rate of viral infection of the epithelial and subepithelial cells. To ...
